Chapter 660

The big man just said it casually, but never expected that he directly pointed out of the point.

Yang Kai practiced alchemy in order to refine pills for the Demon Race, and it was the Ancient Demon Race that had been forgotten by the world for thousands of years, the servants of the Great Demon God！

In the Alchemist Association, a faint medicinal fragrance wafted everywhere. From time to time, Yang Kai could also sense the surging of scorching true essence from the side chambers. Presumably, the alchemists were focused on refining pills.

Following the big man to a relatively secluded side chamber, the big man then left him there： “Wait here, someone will come to greet you later.”

Yang Kai nodded slightly and casually found a chair to sit down on.

The side chamber was not large, and there wasn’t much furniture inside, making it seem empty and deserted.

Yang Kai waited for a full two hours. Just when he was looking impatient, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps approaching.

Soon, the door was pushed open, and a woman with an unfriendly expression walked straight in. She sized up Yang Kai and asked, “Is it you who wants to join the association？”

Yang Kai nodded, stood up, and asked, “Can the test start now？”

“How long have you been learning alchemy？” The woman’s brows were tightly furrowed, and she seemed a bit unhappy as she coldly inquired.

“Not for a long time. I don’t know exactly how long.”

He had actually only been refining pills for a little over a year. But if the time for learning basic knowledge was counted, it had been quite a few years. From the time he obtained the true alchemy formula until now, it had been at least four or five years. However, he had been sporadically exploring the mysteries in the true alchemy formula.

When the woman asked like this, he didn’t know how to answer.

“Playing tricks！” The woman snorted coldly, somewhat dissatisfied that Yang Kai didn’t answer her question directly. She reached out and fumbled in the Qiankun bag around her waist, looking hesitant. After a long while, she took out a medicinal herb and handed it to Yang Kai, saying, “This is a low-grade Heaven-level Cold Star Grass. Condense the medicinal liquid and show it to me.”

Yang Kai reached out and took it, looking at her in surprise： “Just condense like this？”

The woman sneered: If you can’t even do this, then don’t join the association. Do you think the association will accept just anyone? Only alchemists above the Heaven level have the qualification to own their own jade plaques. Hurry up, I’m in a hurry.

As she spoke, she muttered： “Master is really. Such a young kid, just drive him out. Wasting my precious time！”

Yang Kai heard these words and couldn’t help but laugh dumbly.

He also understood why this woman had such an unhappy expression. It was because of his arrival, which made her waste time on alchemy.

When alchemists are refining pills, they most dread being interrupted by others. Yang Kai could understand the woman’s unhappiness.

But her words and expressions clearly showed some contempt for him, which made Yang Kai a little helpless.

I’m afraid she thought he had just started to come into contact with and learn alchemy.

With this in mind, Yang Kai circulated his True Yuan wrapped the Cold Star Grass in his hand and infiltrated the True Yuan into the medicinal herb.

Soon, a faint fragrance filled the air. The woman finally put away her contemptuous expression and focused on Yang Kai’s actions.

The Cold Star Grass seemed to be melted, completely turning into a liquid. Under the effect of the True Yuan, it is suspended in Yang Kai’s palm, and strands of impurities escaped and were evaporated clean.

As time passed, a Cold Star Grass of the lower-grade Heavenly rank was quickly condensed into a medicinal liquid, which was vivid green and eye-catching.

With Yang Kai’s skills and techniques, condensing medicinal materials of the Heavenly rank was already easy. Even without a pill furnace or a spiritual array, he could drive out the impurities completely.

In just over a dozen breaths, the medicinal liquid had taken shape. The woman released her spiritual sense to carefully inspect it, and finally a look of surprise appeared on her pretty face. She looked at Yang Kai in surprise several times.

“Is this okay？” Yang Kai asked.

He could still condense the medicinal liquid to a higher level, but he didn’t do so. This level should be able to meet the woman’s requirements for now.

“Let me ask you, what quality of pills can you refine？” The woman looked at Yang Kai seriously. She now realized that she seemed to have underestimated the means and abilities of this young man.

“Spiritual rank.”

“What？” The woman’s expression changed drastically, and she looked at Yang Kai in disbelief.

“Low-grade spirit-level. Sometimes there may be failures.” Yang Kai added. He didn’t dare to exaggerate his ability too much to avoid attracting others’ attention, but the low-grade spirit-level still seemed a bit unacceptable to this woman.

“Impossible. You’re at most twenty years old. How could you refine spirit-level pills？”

“I can refine one for you to see.” Yang Kai shrugged his shoulders.

The woman stared at him deeply, as if trying to see if he was bragging. After a long while, she said seriously, “Come with me. If you really have this ability, you are no longer within the scope of my assessment.”

She herself was only a high-grade profound-level alchemist. How could she assess the spirit-level？

In another side room, the big man Yang Kai had seen before was studying the alchemy in his hand with a worried look on his face profound spirit array, he seemed a bit unable to figure it out and was distressed.

There was a knock on the door outside. The big man looked up and asked, “What’s the matter？”

“Master.” The woman shouted softly. “It’s about the young man who just wanted to join the association.”

“Oh？ Did he pass the test？” The big man asked.

“No.”

“If not, don’t bother me. Go refine pills by yourself.”

The woman gritted her teeth and suddenly kicked the door open. Yang Kai was dumbfounded.

The woman walked in aggressively, and the bearded man slapped the table angrily: “What kind of manners is this? You actually ignored your master’s order. Do you still have me as your master in your eyes?”

The woman hummed, put her hands on her hips, and said with a face full of anger: “Master, didn’t you say that that guy just started learning alchemy?”

“Yes, what’s the problem？”

“Then why can he refine spiritual-level pills？ I even used the low-grade Heavenly-level Cold Star Grass to test him. It’s so embarrassing！”

“Ah？” The man was dumbfounded. “He can refine spiritual-level pills？ Impossible. You little girl are lying to me again！”

“I have brought the person here. Whether he has this ability or not, you can verify it yourself.” The woman waved to the outside, and Yang Kai walked in with a stiff head.

The man looked at Yang Kai with a stern gaze and shouted, “Just you, can you refine spiritual-level pills?”

Yang Kai nodded seriously.

The man’s expression suddenly became serious, and he said gloomy: “Boy, you should know that this is the Alchemist Association. No matter which force you come from, if you dare to talk big here, you won’t be able to get out alive!

Yang Kai rubbed his forehead, feeling a severe headache. He just wanted to get a jade token but he didn’t expect so many twists and turns.

“Forget it, I don’t want to get the jade token anymore. I’m sorry to have bothered you. Goodbye.”

Dare you! the big man roared angrily, his voice like a tolling bell, and sneered, Do you think the Alchemist Association is a place where you can come and go as you please? It’s useless to be. I will prepare the materials for you and see how you refine the spiritual-level pill. If you can’t satisfy me, hehe…”

“I also want to know if you really have this ability.” The woman also looked at Yang Kai sideways.

Yang Kai took a deep breath, extremely helpless.

“Mina, take out your spiritual-level materials.” The big man stared at Yang Kai and ordered the woman.

The woman nodded slightly and groped in her Qiankun bag. Soon, a pile of spiritual-level materials was placed on the table in the room.

The big man then stretched out his hand and summoned a medicine cauldron the size of a human head. Looking at Yang Kai, he said, “This is my own medicine cauldron. I collected materials for eight years and asked a saint-level weapon refiner to specifically refine it. It can greatly increase the probability of forming a pill. Don’t say I don’t take care of you. If you can’t refine a spiritual pill even with this medicine cauldron, you can wait to have your head chopped off！”

As he spoke, he threw the medicine cauldron over.

Yang Kai casually caught it, weighed it slightly, and nodded in satisfaction.

The quality of this medicine cauldron is very good. It indeed exceeds that of ordinary medicine cauldrons and the spiritual array engraved inside is also to assist the probability of forming a pill. However, Yang Kai keenly perceived that the spiritual array inside is not complete and cannot exert its full effect.

“There are five portions of spirit pill materials. If you can refine three portions, I will consider you passing the test. If not, heh heh！” The big man sneered again and again and gestured, “You can start. I will watch you. Don’t you think about playing any tricks.”

Now that things have come to this point, it is impossible for Yang Kai to back down. He placed the pill furnace on the table and carefully inspected the five portions of materials.

After a while, he frowned and swapped the positions of several medicinal herbs.

Both the big man and the woman looked at him suspiciously. They didn’t know why he looked so confident. Moreover, those five portions of materials were all the best configurations. Why did he casually swap the positions of several medicinal herbs？

The two of them didn’t say much and just watched quietly.

After a while, Yang Kai moved. He skillfully added the medicinal herbs into the pill furnace one by one, pouring true essence into the pill furnace to condense the medicinal liquid. Both the heat and the timing were grasped just right.

The big man and the woman’s eyes lit up when they saw this.

Just from this starting action, they could sense that this young man seemed to really have some skills and was not just talking big.His technique and confidence were obviously derived from usual practice.

One medicinal herb after another was added into the pill furnace. Under Yang Kai’s control, the fragrance of the medicine gradually wafted in the chamber.

The two pairs of eyes of the big man and the woman stared at Yang Kai without blinking, and their expressions gradually became solemn, without the previous contemptuous.

In just the time it took to burn an incense stick, Yang Kai slapped the medicine cauldron, and a round, golden pill shot out from the cauldron. The big man was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and with a suction of his hand, he sucked the pill into the palm of his hand.

After carefully sensing it for a while, his eyes widened and he shouted in a low voice, “Sure enough, it’s a spiritual-level pill.”

“This kid is so powerful？” Mena was also dumbfounded. She didn’t expect Yang Kai to really be able to refine a spiritual-level pill. Although it was only a low-grade spiritual-level pill, it was something she herself couldn’t do.

“The medicinal properties are introverted, and the medicinal materials are not wasted at all. It’s only a little bit short of producing pill patterns. It’s amazing.” The big man sighed, as if a little regretful.
